About the Book

Racing (and Writing) in the Zone "Top sportspeople don't have exclusive access to the Zone. Like the finest music, the bliss can be shared. Perhaps we should be grateful that down here we can experience life 'out of the Zone' as well. This may just be the real heaven, the sweetest spot of all." Clyde Brolin writing (finely, powerfully and "inspirationally") in his great book (that I've been studying, researching and writing about for many years) "There are only three sports: bullfighting, mountain climbing and motor racing; all the rest are merely games." Ernest Hemingway "Grand Prix racing is primarily a mental contest... it's a battle of strength of wills by the combatants and a magnificent contest, the arena to display and share unique gifts and talents. Perhaps in this 'theatre of speed', F1 is a metaphor for life itself" - craig From https: //raceinthezone.wordpress.com/2013/03/21/the-day-prost-flew-at-monaco/ Tags (key words): the Zone, motor racing, Formula 1, champions, writing, the writing journey, spirit "The best feeling is when everything is 'natural' and things just work. It doesn't happen all the time, just on certain special occasions." Writing in the Zone Thoughts on the Writing Journey "This happens when finding the right words is no longer a struggle. Words simply flow into your head faster than you can write them down (or press the keyboard). You read what you have just written and say: 'Bloody hell. That's good. Did I really write that? Wonder where all that came from'." "People talk about the Zone as a very outward thing, but it's not". It's very spiritual. To me, the Zone is when you're operating at the intuitive level;. You're not thinking about it, so it happens naturally. You're at the top of your job. You've got your emotions controlled, your energy is channelled and you're just doing it. That's the Zone. You're just doing it." Andy Priauix, British driver and former World Touring Car Champion from the book, Overdrive Formula 1 in the Zone by Clyde Brolin, a fascinating book that I've been researching and studying, and then attempting to apply the principles to "the writing journey". The Zone is where you find your best performance and everything flows. I believe you have to push the limit of an activity to get this kind of experience. You have to practice to find the Zone. If sportsmen repeat this often and practice going step by step into a spiritual state. A lot of sportsmen have worked hard on their mind and many have worked on a spiritual path. from the book, Overdrive Formula 1 in the Zone by Clyde Brolin, a fascinating book that I've been researching and studying, and then attempting to apply the principles to "the writing journey". "Reading a piece of writing without effort (effortlessly), reveals and illuminates the effort and craft of the writer." "You think you have a limit. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." Ayrton Senna PPS "Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly." Franz Kafka
